What day is it?

Well, Summer is in full swing and we have been enjoying every minute. We were joking tonight because we were all confused on what day it was! Other than Sunday, our days are all pretty much the same.

Eat breakfast
Play outside before it gets too hot.
Come inside because it's too hot.
Watch D*sney, N*ckelodeon or Sp*rts Center (if Dougie has the remote)
Eat lunch
Take naps (usually just the little boys, but sometimes Momma too!)
Play board games
Play on the computer
Eat supper
repeat any of the above activities!
Go to bed waaaay tooo late!

We sure do miss not having access to a pool. But some friends in our church have offered theirs, so the kids and I are going tomorrow to swim! Yay!

Tomorrow night we are taking the kids to an Augusta Greenjackets game. They are running a special this week, buy 1 ticket get 1 free! I think I enjoy going to the minor league games more than the big leagues.

Later this week, we're going to ATL for a few days. Of course, we're all looking forward to that!

I guess that's about it for now. I'll leave you with this picture. we actually did something productive today and cleaned out the van and washed it! Asher even helped out and yes, he's in his pajamas. It IS summer, y'all!



Love y'all! Go eat some ice cream!

Summer Ingenuity!

On the way home from church Sunday afternoon, the kids started talking about playing in the water. Emma and Dougie are good sports and will even play with Caleb in his little pool. They began talking about different things they could do. After lunch, they quickly changed their clothes and headed outside. I was cleaning up and putting Asher down for his nap and when I finally made it outside, this is what I found!

With Daddy's help, they had hooked the hose above the slide, put the pool under the slide and created their very own water slide!

And since they had the nozzle on the hose, they could change the way the spray came out. Summer ingenuity leads to summer memories!

Emma...Again

Hey!!! Sorry it's been so long since I last posted. I've been pretty busy lately. Caleb has pink eye and I've been helping out. My mom posts when Caleb is napping and when everybody is in bed. Mainly when Caleb is napping.

My mom & I have been reading a book called "Preparing Your Daughter for Every Women's Battle." It is terrific! If you are a mother of a 10-16 year old girl this book is great for you to read together. You can get it at any Christian book store (or at Christian Books Online). I think every mom should read it with their daughter. A good time to read it is before bed and after you say your prayers. It really is a good time to bond. I know we did. We have 4 more chapters till we are finished. I hope you will consider reading it. Also the first part is just for moms. Here is a picture of it down below.

GTG (got to go). LUV 4EVA!

Here's how Emma and Dougie spent their afternoon. Watching the shrinky dinks!!! I thought this was a priceless photo op but my camera was dead so I grabbed a cell phone. It's not the best pic but it works! Dougie is kneeling on a stool, he's not taller than Emma.......yet!
